Not looking good for that rumour of a music announcement today

I think people need to stop driving themselves demented with anticipation of announcements.

I'm going on the assumption that there is only filler left to be added at this stage.

This September, Just Eat will bring the Just Eat Retreat back to Electric Picnic for the third year.
The area will offer festival goers a destination where they can relax, order food and drink to be delivered by the Just Eat waiters and enjoy some luxurious pampering from a range of services, including barbers and beauticians.

Also on the menu this year is a series of 'Tent Talks' at the Just Eat Retreat, which will deliver 10-minute inspirational talks from a diverse range of contributors, including Marissa Carter, founder of Cocoa Brown, and Tropical Popical owner Andrea Horan. Ensuring the festival experience is as convenient as possible, Just Eat will introduce the Just Eat Picnic Porters, a concierge service to help festival-goers deliver their kit easily from the car park to the festival entrance.

Just Eat is also using its prominent presence at the festival to help drive awareness of the issue of homelessness. Working with its charity partner, the Peter McVerry Trust, one of the ‘Tent Talks’ will focus on this growing social issue. They will also be tapping into the generosity of festival-goers by looking for a voluntary contribution for the treats on offer at the Just Eat Retreat, with all funds raised going to the Peter McVerry Trust.

Customers who were not lucky enough to have a ticket to this year’s sold-out festival will have a chance to win up to 10 pairs of VIP weekend tickets through Just Eat. They will place branded 'festival forks' in ten random takeaway orders around the country between now and 27th August. All you have to do is find the fork and you are on your way to Electric Picnic, VIP style.

Agree with you there, i'll be disappointed if there isn't a few more well known acts added but I've been to a few EPs where i wasnt too bothered with the lineup at all and I've always had an amazing weekend:D

bodhrandude · 27-07-2016 4:43pm

Out of the last two announcements there is at least 15 acts I would want to see over the weekend which is more than enough already when you consider the EP periphery of areas and side show attractions. It will be a bonus for getting a few extra names but I'm fairly satisfied that My EP experience will be a good one and its by no means the worse EP line up I've seen. Body & Soul should bring some surprises and there will probably be a classic eighties band there somewhere.

Parachute was banned by the BBC

scruff monkey · 27-07-2016 9:49pm

That's usually a recommendation or very good marketing

It's not on the wiki page of songs banned by the Beeb though.

Mike Guide 69 · 27-07-2016 10:09pm

Parachute was'nt banned by the BBC, it was restricted in its air play from main stream broadcast shows around morning and drive time slots and only played on late evening/night, alternative shows such as John Peels ....

drunkmonkey · 27-07-2016 10:15pm

Restricted on release as was dirrrty and banned during the gulf war as well.

Parachute is a French letter, that was the dirty part. Banned during Gulf war as it literally meant parachute.

A few weeks back I had to explain to a female colleague in her mid 30s what a French letter was when I pissed myself laughing when she sent me a job request e-mail entitled "client-name French letters"

Looking over the artists schedules as far as i'm concerned the only "headline" that looks anywhere near set in stone is NGHFB, he's listed as playing gigs elsewhere on Friday and Sunday, so provided these are correct it's highly likely he'll play Saturday.

The rest are completely open and don't have conflicting gigs elsewhere that would restrict them to a certain night.

This would also be what I would like to see. Todd Terje is another big one I'm looking forward to seeing, he has been announced for Ministry of Sound in London on the Sat so he will be Friday or Sunday.
